Consumption of foods and beverages rich in added sugar associated with incident metabolic syndrome: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study

Sticking to a diet rich in added sugars may put an individual at risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

This study examined whether the intake of foods high in added sugars is associated with elevated risk of metabolic syndrome in men and women. Researchers followed the dietary habits and health of 3,154 young American men and women over a 30-year period.

Researchers identified a rise in the incidence of metabolic syndrome among frequent eaters of foods packed with added sugars. This study documented that consistent consumption of added sugars may trigger the development of metabolic syndrome in young men and women.
